Privacy Policy

Our Privacy-First Approach

WordWell is designed with your privacy as a top priority. We believe your vocabulary learning journey should be private, secure, and entirely under your control.

Data Storage

All your personal data stays on your device.

• Saved words and vocabulary lists are stored in your browser using IndexedDB
• Learning progress and quiz history remain on your device
• Settings and preferences are saved locally
• Recently viewed words are stored in your browser only
• We never upload your personal vocabulary data to our servers

Third-Party Services

Dictionary API

When you search for a word, we query the Free Dictionary API (dictionaryapi.dev) to fetch definitions, pronunciations, and examples. Only the word you search for is sent to this service.

Analytics

We use Ahrefs Web Analytics to understand how visitors use our site (page views, navigation patterns). This helps us improve WordWell. Ahrefs analytics is privacy-focused and does not use cookies or track personal information across sites.

What We Do NOT Do

• We do NOT require user accounts or registration
• We do NOT collect email addresses or personal information
• We do NOT track you across other websites
• We do NOT sell your data to third parties
• We do NOT use invasive tracking cookies
• We do NOT store your vocabulary data on our servers

Data Export and Deletion

Since all your data is stored locally in your browser:

• Export: Use the Settings page to export your vocabulary lists as JSON or PDF
• Deletion: Clear your browser data or use the Settings page to delete specific vocabulary lists
• Full Reset: Clearing your browser's site data will remove all WordWell data from your device

When you do share exported files, keep sensitive information protected by screening drafts with ContentGuard and, if collaborating across languages, translate only the text you intend to send using TranslatePro so your personal notes stay private.

Children's Privacy

WordWell is safe for users of all ages. Since we don't collect personal information and all data stays on the user's device, there are no special privacy concerns for children using this service.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
